## Aiven降低软件构建门槛 Aiven认为，现代软件开发受到高摩擦的阻碍——复杂的 инфраструктура 和代价高昂的“免费层级”，扼杀了实验和创新。他们相信执行力至关重要，但对于个人开发者和小型团队来说，起步越来越困难。为此，Aiven推出了大幅扩展的免费和低成本选项。他们提供一个**功能齐全、无附加条件的Apache Kafka免费层级**，从而能够在没有预算限制的情况下进行真正的事件驱动架构开发。此外，他们还推出了**PostgreSQL和MySQL的每月5美元开发者层级**，以可承受的价格提供企业级的可靠性。 Aiven的目标是消除财务和后勤障碍，让开发者专注于*构建*，而不是应对复杂的定价或有限的试用期。他们旨在赋能所有人——学生、独立开发者和企业团队——快速原型设计和扩展他们的想法。

Hello everyone,

I want to spend a moment talking about the reality of building software today.

We often talk about "Strategy" and "Vision," but as I have written before, Execution >> Strategy. The problem is that for many developers, execution hits a wall before it even begins.

The friction to start building has become too high.

We read articles about “forward deployed engineers”, but the reality for the individual builder often feels different. Building modern applications requires gluing together complex infrastructure.

To do that today, you are often forced to make architectural compromises based on your credit card limit rather than your technical needs. You are forced to rely on "Free Tiers" that are actually traps; time-limited sandboxes that expire just as you are getting started, or "toy" versions that break the moment you try to scale.

This is a tax on curiosity. And quite frankly, it sucks.

Walking the Talk

At Aiven, we are built on Open Source. It is in our DNA. But we cannot simply extract value from the ecosystem; we must reinvest in it.

We believe that the best way to support the "Builder" (whether you are a student, an indie hacker, or a technical lead prototyping or running a skunkworks project inside a Fortune 500) is to give you the best tools without the friction.

We decided to stop optimizing for "conversion funnels" and start optimizing for your time to code.

Data Infrastructure For All

I am incredibly excited to announce a big push in how we support the developer community.

We are launching:

Free Tier for Aiven for Apache Kafka®: This is not a trial. This is a fully managed, no-strings-attached Kafka service. It is designed to let you build real event-driven architectures without needing a budget approval.
$5 Developer Tier for Aiven for PostgreSQL® & Aiven for MySQL: We are bringing you the exact same reliability, automation, and ecosystem that our enterprise customers rely on, but at a price point that fits a hobbyist project.

This means you can spin up a scalable Postgres database for the price of a coffee, and start an event driven architecture with Kafka for free (and don't forget, we also have Free Tiers for Postgres and MySQL).

Go build something

There is no sales call. There is no "Contact Us" form to get started.

We want to see what you build when the friction is removed. We want to see your "Hello World" turn into the next big thing.

You can get started right now.

Time to build 🦀 🚀
